Taichung City- Wiped Out





We walked all over creation today. The "creation" being the last twenty years of progress in this bustling city of a million (officially). Our travels included dried-up canals, sculpture parks, T-shirts with "Chenglish" writing on them (see photo), mystery meals, delicious dumplings, Chinese parrots, tiny alleys, tree-climbing, swinging, visiting Taoist temples, incense burning, and one enormous, gargantuan, behemoth of a pet pig. 

We also hunted down the source of the mysterious "Fuhr Elise," that was haunting our early morning in the "Chateau," AKA, apartment. Brian thought it was the police cars, but was dead wrong. Catherine thought it was someone selling something, AKA Mr. Frostee. But we were both wrong. 

It was...

Dinner tonight at Thai Work restaurant, with the folks. Now, exhausted, feet-aching and sore, debating the virtues of sleeping pills, planning on bringing umbrellas tomorrow to keep our complexions oh-so-pale (!ting!ting!). Goodnight world! (good morning friends in the USA)...
